What if Light Could Capture a Memory?

This photo, the oldest on my iPhone, takes us back to December 19, 2023, at Gustav Adolf’s Square in Malmö. I was visiting my friend Magnus Borén, who was dazzling audiences as a drag queen in *Everybody’s Talking About Jamie* at Malmö Opera. The evening was a celebration of friendship, theatre, and festive vibes.  

The photo features me standing in front of half an enormous, illuminated Christmas bauble. Its warm, golden glow was irresistible—a light so perfect I couldn’t resist taking a selfie. Magnus, being the amazing friend he is, grabbed my phone and took some candid shots of me capturing that moment.  

I’m wrapped up in my eclectic winter ensemble: an orange beanie for a pop of color, a Giambattista Valli x H&M floral scarf for a touch of elegance, a Moschino x H&M CD-print jacket to stand out, second-hand Levi’s jeans because sustainable fashion is key, and boots from Kenzo x H&M to tie it all together.  

The festive energy of Malmö in December is magical. The square was alive with twinkling lights and holiday cheer, creating a dreamy backdrop that turned this moment into a keepsake. It was more than just a photo—it was a reminder of why I love capturing life’s little joys and big celebrations.  

Magnus’ enthusiasm behind the camera and the warmth of the Christmas lights made this a snapshot of pure happiness. It’s a moment frozen in time, combining holiday magic, friendship, and fashion in one perfect frame.
